Another caution or two while we're being paranoid. I have, as do many others, a small GPS navigator with "favorite places" including "home" stored in it. I make "home" a few doors down the street in case someone obtains the GPS, checks "home" and rushes there to take whatever I left. Also, my "home" number in my cell phone isn't filed under "Home," but under a secret name (and it's not #1 on speed-dial). So it can't be "lifted" and checked to see if anyone is "home." Yes, we can learn to worry about all kinds of stuff. But I agree that having a mail drop is a good idea -- whether on a boat or not.

For those that are paranoid about addresses, make sure the newspapers do not post your obit - there will be nothing left in the house for your kids. For those that work, do not go to work for more than an hour at a time. Crooks can come to your home and clean it out in a couple of hours with a U-haul truck. But a boat card with all your info can save you hours with its convenience. If it backfires, call your insurance agent. [Vance Nelson]

The answer is to have someone "babysit" the house during your funeral or memorial service. People have been doing that for years to prevent the house from being emptied by thieves during a funeral or memorial service! <><><><><><><><><><><><>Mozilla Thunderbird<><><><><><><><><><> Bob McLeran and Judy Young Manatee Cove Marina MV Sanderling Patrick Air Force Base DeFever 41 Trawler Melbourne, Florida Blog: http://sanderling2011.blogspot.com/ Pics: http://tinyurl.com/yjx2vky& http://tinyurl.com/yhxjvas On 12/26/2011 5:28 PM, Vance Nelson wrote: > For those that are paranoid about addresses, make sure the newspapers do not > post your obit - there will be nothing left in the house for your kids. >
